We strive to create a safe environment for Training, Work, and leisure activities.  You can be assured that the Police Officers assigned to Fort Devens have your Safety and Security at the top of their agenda 24/7/365 days of the year.

We will assist you in a manner consistent with or better than your local police department  by maintaining Access Control Methods consistent with Department of the Army Policies and the  Post Commanders Orders, Enforcing Federal, UCMJ, State and Post Regulations.  We will be courteous, attentive to your needs and your rights.  We ASK that you in turn, extend that courtesy by obeying the Laws and regulations set forth and treating our officers with the same respect that you request of us.

If you encounter a problem in dealing with an incident or officer, please do not hesitate to contact the Station Commander via the ICE evaluation program or calling 978-796-3512.
